The difference is that if schizophrenics formed associations and forced the professional mental health groups to de-list schizophrenia as an illness, then had parades celebrating whatever crazy and dangerous actions their mental illness impelled them to do, and had schizophrenia clubs in school getting kids to try doing such acts (suicide? I don’t know what things schizos do to act out).
But since all that is theoretical, there is no comparison.
You’ll get no argument from me. I’ve joked to people that if Homosexuals have “Pride Parades,” there ought to also be “Schizophrenia Pride” and “Manic Depression Pride” parades, too.
My point was in reference to making it illegal. Just as “Gay Pride” parades make no more sense than “Manic Depression Pride” parades, outlawing homosexuality makes no more sense than outlawing manic depression.
